GPS Coupon Tutorial


The GPS Coupon page gives a possibility for businesses to reward frequent customers with incentives for the repeat business. It works by reading the mobile phone's GPS coordinates and then the page checks for the same coordinates as the business location. When a customer accumulates enough check-ins he receives check-in incentive (i.e. free drinks, food, discount, etc.).

As a developer you can manage how many check-ins are needed to unlock an incentive and how many hours before a customer is allowed to check in once again.


In order to add a new GPS Coupon to your app, go to Edit Pages menu, then click "+" Add New Page button. From the Marketplace find GPS Coupon and click on it to add to the application.


Once the page is added to the application, you can proceed with editing it.

On the right side you will find a list of page elements that should be configured.

Let's see how the page type is working on the device.


In the application, the page type will have two buttons "Check-in" and "How to Unlock?" .  In "How to Unlock?" you will find instructions how to unlock the coupon. 



If the customer's current location meet at least one of the locations specified in the Location Details field (see field 11), he will get access to the coupon. If the location is different then the  specified one, Google Map page will appear with directions to the needed location.
